This is a cover of Frank Ocean’s “Godspeed,” the penultimate track from his 2016 album Blonde which James Blake co-produced. The song is about respectfully leaving a lover. The title is an expression used to wish someone good luck before beginning a journey.
[Verse]
I will always love you
How I do
I let go of a prayer for you
Just a sweet word
The table is prepared for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won't move
Still I'll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you
It's a free world
You look down on where you came from sometimes
Still you'll have this place to call home always
Glory, glory
Glory, glory
[Outro]
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
